Our Philosophy
At Sustain with Me Landscapes, we believe that every outdoor space should be a reflection of the people who use it – beautiful, sustainable, and full of life. As a woman-owned business based in the East Bay, we’re passionate about creating custom designs that not only enhance your surroundings, but also benefit the environment.
We focus on crafting landscapes that are as functional as they are beautiful, with an emphasis on sustainability and local biodiversity. By incorporating native plants that thrive in our climate, we help support wildlife and restore harmony to the local ecosystem. Whether it’s through an edible garden that empowers you to take control of your food choices or water conservation strategies that reduce your carbon footprint, we are dedicated to giving you the tools to live in greater alignment with the Earth.
As environmental educators, we are committed to making eco-friendly gardening techniques accessible to all. We believe in inspiring future generations to connect with nature and embrace practices that nurture the world around us. At the heart of our work is a deep respect for the land, a passion for innovation, and a commitment to supporting our clients in living more sustainably – one garden at a time.
Amelia Greenland, Founder
Amelia is a biologist, educator, mother, and licensed landscape contractor with a deep passion for regenerative landscape design. She founded Sustain With Me Landscapes to help families reconnect with their outdoor spaces—not just as beautiful East Bay landscapes, but as places for learning, resilience, and self-sufficiency.
Before launching this business, she spent six years teaching science, with a strong focus on food justice and sustainability. That same mission drives her work today. She believe that gardens should nourish both people and the planet, which is why we prioritize edible plants, California natives, and climate-conscious design. By using water-saving techniques, recycled materials, and habitat-friendly plant choices, we create resilient landscapes that support biodiversity and reduce environmental impact while thriving in California’s unique environment.
As a mother and business owner, Amelia understands the importance of functional, family-friendly spaces that bring people together. Whether it’s a backyard food forest, a pollinator haven, or a drought-resilient retreat, her goal is to create gardens that are not only sustainable but also deeply personal and enriching for those who live in them.
